This came up in a code review a while ago, but what do people think of adding a fixed width list type to the memory layout spec.
This would have the same layout as the current list type. Instead of having a separate offset buffer to determine location and length of each list, the length would be stored as part of metadata and offsets would be calculated using multiplication instead of lookups. One use case for this is an easy mapping to the "FIXED_LEN_BYTE_ARRAY" in parquet. If people like the idea I can file a JIRA and update the current layout.md. Thanks, -Micah
